Pale lemon with aromas of tropical and citrus fruits with notes of honeysuckle. On the palate flavors of floral white fruits, citrus and slight spicy character. Lively acidity, medium finish ending with fruit character with honey tones.

Tart, high acid, minerals, especially on the nose. Slight residual sugar. Oaky. Best cold. Gets astringent if it warms. Other than the heavy oak and high alcohol it drinks like a French viognier.

Such a charming wine—and I’m not normally a Viognier person. A touch of mineralogy online with honeysuckle, peach skin, and what the want fennel. I have wardrobe synesthesia and experience this as an ivory white thirties style women’s blazer.

Star bright green gold. Inviting nose of yellow lilies and banana peel. Echoed on the full-bodied palate adding mango, white peach, and almond. Moderate acidity that’s appropriate for the variety. Moderate finish. This Aussie take on the Northern Rhône’s primary white grape is a winner, with enough “stuff” to accompany most white wine fare, but light enough (on the palate and the pocketbook) for a pleasant everyday sipper. Drink now.

Palm desert… Viognier… Perfect solution for a hot day.

Always feel like this wine could use some bottle age. Would be good to lay down for a year or two to see what it does. Funky out the gate and needed some air. Shook the bottle vigorously for 10 seconds to pump stove air into it. Second glass was much better. Lots of potential.

Just when I thought I’d fallen out of love with white wine, I found this. This is answer to Chardonnay since I’d become largely uninterested. Aromas of honeysuckle, jasmine and peach drew me in. It’s full body and creaminess got me to stay. This is the closest I’ve gotten so far to a white BBW. Reasonably priced. I’m looking to forward to having this again and again. Shout out to the screw top. #badandboozypod #whitewines #winegasm

Pleasant tartness, apricot and tropical fruits, hint of ginger. Nice mouthfeel. Would buy again.

Needed to double decant this to knock off the sulfide funk. Became floral after the decant.
